Federal Register / Vol. 63, No. 130 /Wednesday, July 8, 1998 / Notices 36895

pollution control regulations. The

regulations are codified as part 55 of

chapter I of title 40 of the Code of

Federal Regulations (CFR).

The proposed ICR addresses the

information collection burden to

industry respondents who are subject to

the reporting, recordkeeping, and testing

requirements of the OCS air regulations.

Industry respondents include owners or

operators of existing and new or

modified stationary sources. The

proposed ICR also addresses the burden

to the agencies who are responsible for

implementing and enforcing the OCS

regulations. The EPA has delegated the

authority to implement and enforce the

OCS regulations for sources located off

the coast of California to four local air

pollution control agencies. The EPA

implements and enforces the regulations

for all other sources under its

jurisdiction. All burden estimates are

calculated for the 3-year period

beginning September 1, 1998 and

ending August 31, 2001.

The type, quantity and submission

requirements of information will

depend on the type and location of the

source. Exploration facilities are

generally smaller sources which operate

for a short period of time (2 to 6

months), are required to submit an

application to operate and are required

to submit a copy of their log book to

document their operation. Development

and production facilities are generally

larger sources which operate for periods

up to 30 years, are required to obtain

new source review and operating

permits, conduct initial and periodic

emission tests, and submit compliance

information on a routine basis.

The requirements for sources located

or locating within 25 miles of the States’

seaward boundaries are essentially the

same as the requirements for the sources

located in the COA. These requirements

will depend upon whether the area is

attaining the air quality standards and

the local regulatory requirements. For

example, a new source locating off the

coast of a nonattainment area would

have to meet the stringent requirements

of the nonattainment area, such as

smaller size cut-offs for new source

review requirements and control

requirements for the lowest achievable

emission rate. While sources locating off

an area which is attaining the standards

would have higher cut-off requirements

and control requirements for the best

available control technology.

In addition, since EPA has delegated

authority to implement and enforce the

regulations to four southern California

air pollution control districts, sources

locating off the coast of those districts

would be submitting their applications

and data to the local districts.

An agency may not conduct or

sponsor, and a person is not required to

respond to, a collection of information

unless it displays a currently valid OMB

control number. The OMB control

numbers for EPA’s regulations are listed

in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15.

The EPA would like to solicit

comments to:

(i) Evaluate whether the proposed

collection of information is necessary

for the proper performance of the

functions of the Agency, including

whether the information will have

practical utility;

(ii) Evaluate the accuracy of the

Agency’s estimate of the burden of the

proposed collection of information,

including the validity of the

methodology and assumptions used;

(iii) Enhance the quality, utility, and

clarity of the information to be

collected; and

(iv) Minimize the burden of the

collection of information on those who

are to respond, including through the

use of appropriate automated electronic,

mechanical, or other technological

collection techniques or other forms of

information technology, e.g., permitting

electronic submission of responses.

Burden Statement: There are two

types of respondents affected by this

proposed ICR: new and existing sources.

New sources must submit adequate

information to determine if the sources

will meet the appropriate new source

review requirements. The annual

average of these one-time-only burdens

for the respondents is estimated to be

16,742 hours. Existing sources must

submit information to obtain an

operating permit and information on the

sources’ emissions. The annual burden

for the existing sources is 16,308 hours.

The total estimate annual burden for the

respondents is 33,050 hours and an

annualized cost of $1,775,646. The

burden for the State and local agencies

to implement and enforce the

regulations is estimated to be 4,109

hours and an annualized cost of

$158,476. The burden for the EPA to

implement and enforce the regulations

is estimated to be 4,114 hours and an

annualized cost of $177,099. Burden

means the total time, effort, or financial

resources expended by persons to

generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or

provide information to or for a Federal

agency. This includes the time needed

to: review instructions; develop,

acquire, install, and utilize technology

and systems for the purposes of

collecting, validating, and verifying

information, processing and

maintaining information, and disclosing

and providing information; adjust the

existing ways to comply with any

previously applicable instructions and

requirements; train personnel to be able

to respond to a collection of

information; search data sources;

complete and review the collection of

information; and transmit or otherwise

disclose the information.

Notice of Shrimp Virus Management

Work Shop

AGENCY: U.S. Environmental Protection

Agency (USEPA).

ACTION: Notice of shrimp virus

management workshop.

SUMMARY: The Gulf of Mexico Program

will jointly sponsor a Shrimp Virus

Management Workshop. This workshop

is a continuation of the shrimp virus

work of the Joint Subcommittee on

Aquaculture (JSA) of the President’s

Council on Science and Policy. This

workshop is jointly sponsored by: the

U.S. Department of Commerce, National

Oceanic and Atmospheric

Administration, National Marine

Fisheries Service (DOC/NOAA/NMFS);

U.S. Department of Agriculture,

Cooperative State Research, Education

and Extension Service (DOA/CREES)

workshop is to utilize all of the data and

input gathered from the June 1996

Shrimp Pathogen Workshop, the Report

of the JSA Shrimp Virus Work Group

from June 1997, the Stakeholder

Meetings held in Summer 1997 and the

Expert Workshop held in January 1998
